“At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can” <Frida Kahlo> This quote has helped myself and others realize that we’re able to handle more than we believe we can. However, this doesn’t mean you have to do it alone or feel as if you are failure for reaching out for help. Therapy is creating a safe space where you can focus on your personal needs. It is a place where you can practice selfcare and be the positive change you aim to be. Therapy allows you to be open and honest with yourself. Finally, it is a place where you can be selfish and heard without any judgment or misunderstanding. Let's fight the stigma!

I have worked with many populations at a variety of locations. I've worked with children & teens, adults, families, DV & SA survivors, the LGBTQ+ community, and in substance abuse. I work with presenting problems such as anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger, trauma, life transitions & adjustments. However, I am open to anyone who is seeking help.

I am a minority who knows how mental health is stigmatized. COVID-19 has impacted minorities more than any other population. Racial injustice & police brutality continue to be a huge issue. Not only will I be able to understand where your feelings are coming from, but I will empathize & work with you to find solutions to whatever you are struggling with.
